Navigating the Adult Adoption Process and Getting our Voting House in Order for the 2024 Election

Tarcia Smith, host of the “Adoption Journey Podcast” was our guest. She shared her story from the time she was 6 years old and asked her parents if she was adopted? Their answer was positive, and she accepted that…until she wanted answers about her natural parents. Her journey took her through a system that she navigated across the country. She met her birth mother and years later before he passed, her birth father. Tarcia learned those systems and shares the entire process with thousands around the country in her weekly podcast.
